The "goed Van den Bossche" which consisted of a house and the park was bought in 1798 by notary G. Crampen. The orchard was sold a little later to Felix Loyaerts who had a house built there in the nineteenth century. After many more changes, the house was inhabited from 1928 by Paul-Georges Kronacker, but only as delegated manager of the NV Tiense Suikerraffinaderij. Hotel Kronacker has been located there since 2018. More about the history of the hotel/house and park at hotelkronacker.be/nl/p/geschiedenis
